Russia has adopted an interesting strategy in the Ukraine war by using horses and donkeys. This symbolizes a return to the past.

To counter Ukraine's drone army, the Russian army is using these animals to transport supplies and soldiers, avoiding detection by drones.

Ukrainian Army Sergeant Ihor Vizirenko first noticed the Russians using this creative method in drone footage. "War is now just about drones and artillery," he stated.

Additionally, Russian soldiers are using handcarts to transport supplies and wounded soldiers to the front lines, helping to keep vehicles out of drone range.

The history of horses used in warfare dates back to 1500 BC. However, after World War I, horses were largely replaced by modern vehicles.
